Summary:

In the beginning, there was an online bookseller—and a visionary founder who dreamed of making it into so much more. Now Amazon.com has conquered the world of online shopping, placing tens of millions of items at customers’ fingertips, revolutionizing the personal reading device, and transforming one industry after another. The company’s secret? A customer-centric management style—along with fourteen leadership principles that represent the heart and soul of its business practices. Having helped lead the iconic Internet retailer during its formative years, management consultant John Rossman now reveals the principles that drive Amazon’s innovative culture, showing how the same principles can help any business seize the competitive advantage. Along the way, you’ll experience an authentic, often humorous, first-hand look at the inner workings of one of the world’s most successful companies as it grew from simple bookseller to the game-changer it is today.
